Chapter 278 Zhao Chuanxin on his deathbed(1/3)
Seeing that the adjutant's eyes were red, Yusaku Uehara's anger gradually subsided and he said in a deep voice: "Where are the remaining soldiers? Where are our artillery?"
"The artillery was captured by the God of War team. The remaining soldiers and reinforcements are outside Guluji Ridge. They are not acting rashly and are waiting for your instructions."
Hearing that all the artillery pieces were gone, Yusaku Uehara's forehead throbbed with veins.
He sighed: "If we attack overnight, maybe we still have a chance. At that time, Zhao Chuanxin and the God of War team were already at the end of their strength. Although our reinforcements were on their way, they were still physically strong compared to them. They might not be able to defeat them in one go.
Next. Now, there is no chance. Recall the army, and I will personally apologize to Commander Hasegawa..."
People all over Korea are watching the news about the Ares Team and the Japanese Army.
You can't hide this kind of thing.
On the third day, newspapers spread the news about the God of War team throughout Seoul.
At this time, South Korea was divided into three levels of administrative divisions, namely cities, counties and counties.
These newspapers slowly spread from Seoul to surrounding counties.
Park Zehu was drinking morning tea and reading current affairs with a newspaper.
The "Korea Daily Report" stated that the U.S. Minister to South Korea, William Carroll Will, visited the Lotus Temple, which happened to be a battle between the God of War team and the Japanese army in the mountains. The U.S. Minister witnessed the battle, and Zhao Chuanxin fought with 500 men.
After the Japanese army, the God of War team joined the hand-to-hand combat. The battle was brutal, with countless casualties, and the scene was unbearable to watch. The Japanese army was ultimately defeated and retreated. The US envoy said that during the Russo-Japanese War, Tsarist Russian soldiers suffered from heliophobia. Today, there are Japanese soldiers who fear that they will suffer from it again.
Zhao Zheng. He also said that in this battle, the name of Gulujiling Meat Grinder may be passed down to Zhao Chuanxin for his bravery...
Park Zehu choked on his tea and coughed for a long time.
One man fighting 500 Japanese troops?
Is Japan suffering from "Zhaophobia"?
Gulujiling meat grinder?
The U.S. Minister to South Korea is so damn brave to say that.
In fact, William Carroll Will was bragging on the one hand.
He witnessed a shitty battle, which was just made up in order to show off his courage during the interview.
Americans like this tone, they like to brag about the kind of awesomeness that can show off their masculinity.
As for the number of Japanese troops, he heard about the total number of the Japanese company's leading troops and follow-up reinforcements, and then added a little exaggeration to the number.
To put it bluntly, this is bragging.
While bragging, I am also burying the Japanese.
Although Park Zehu couldn't believe the numbers in the newspaper, he at least knew that the Ares Team won this battle.
Putting down the newspaper, he looked pleased, feeling that the 100,000 yen was not wasted.
At least it's not like the previous investment, which was in vain and didn't cause much trouble.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but get up and pace back and forth.
"Zhao Chuanxin really has some tricks up his sleeve. I wonder how much of his business ability accounts for his fighting ability? Should I listen to him?"
In Qingyun Palace, Li Xi received the aggressive Ito Hirobumi in his office.
After Ito Hirobumi entered the door, he sat down on a chair and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I am familiar with the connection between the palace and the thugs, and I have evidence in my hand that the palace provides funds to the thugs."
Li Xi's expression changed slightly.
After he was forced to abdicate, he originally wanted to call himself the "Supreme Emperor" in an attempt to continue to secretly control power.
However, this was rejected by Ito Hirobumi, who directly called him "Emperor".
In terms of details, Ito Hirobumi is very good at it.
Li Xi has been unable to contact Zhao Chuanxin and Park Seung-yeol recently, so he sent someone to secretly contact civilian volunteer activities and quietly provide anti-Japanese funds.
He was so stubborn: "I didn't."
Ito Hirobumi sneered: "Not only that, I also know that the Emperor has many secret envoys and secret telegrams with Koreans in Shanghai, Puchao and other places."
Puchao is Vladivostok.
Now Li Xi couldn't sit still.
If you just lied to him with words before, he will be unable to refute what you said later.
But how do the Japanese know?
Could it be that the eunuchs and guards closest to him were also bribed by the Japanese?
What he didn't know was that Ito Hirobumi was secretly monitoring the telegrams from the Korean Royal Palace.
No matter what telegram he sends, it will definitely appear on Ito Hirobumi's desk immediately.
But Li Xi doesn’t understand the tricks of this high-tech technology.
"You..." Li Xi was frightened, but still said stubbornly: "I didn't!"
The defense is very pale.
"Haha, His Majesty the Emperor, in order to ensure the safety of the Emperor from being violated by thugs, our Japanese police consultants will replace the security command of Qingyun Palace. From now on, the palace will implement a 'menjian' system to eliminate palace bans and have no unified supervision.
Those who do not have tickets issued by the government are not allowed to enter the palace."
My Cao, Li Xi’s head buzzed.
Blood rushes to the head.
Ito Hirobumi wanted to cut off his connection with the anti-Japanese forces outside the palace, leaving him in an isolated and helpless situation.
Then he will have no chance to turn around.
At this time, Ito Hirobumi's secretary Taijiro Mori hurried in and said a few words in Ito Hirobumi's ear.
Ito Hirobumi stood up suddenly, turned around and took a deep look at Li Xi, then turned and left.
Li Xi wanted to know what Taijiro Mori and Hirobumi Ito said.
A hundred claws scratch my heart, I can’t wait.
After Ito Hirobumi left, the little eunuch delivered today's newspaper.
Li Xi quickly picked it up, eager to see what happened.
He saw the news that Zhao Chuanxin and the God of War team defeated the Japanese at Guluji Ridge, and he stood up excitedly: "Okay, I know, this Zhao Chuanxin will not let me down! Ito Hirobumi must have received a message from the Japanese army
I was eager to leave only after hearing the news of the defeat."
The more he watched, the happier he became and his face flushed.
The little eunuch comforted him: "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body and don't get too excited."
Li Xi flipped through the following newspapers.
There are also Japanese mouthpieces among them.
For example, the "National News" published by the pro-Japanese faction "Immediately Entering the Association" has a completely different tone: Recently, the thug Zhao Chuanxin led a team of thugs to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese army at Gulujiling. The thugs suffered heavy casualties, and Zhao
Zhao Chuanxin was seriously injured and was on his deathbed. The Japanese army retreated tactically, waiting for the opportunity to come back and take down the mob team in one fell swoop. The general trend is like a mantis trying to stop anyone. Zhao Chuanxin's destruction is imminent...
Li Xi's nose twitched, just like the reaction of some people in later generations after seeing comments on the Internet from people who were against his camp.
"How unreasonable, actually ignoring the facts and confusing right and wrong..."
But as he looked at it, he thought of something and said to the young eunuch: "Quickly, while Ito Hirobumi is in a state of distress, send someone out of the palace as quickly as possible to spread the news that National News is confusing right and wrong."
He was afraid that this kind of report would really affect the people, and he wanted to go out and parade in person to give a speech.
When the young eunuch arrived at the door, Li Xi quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, find someone else to find a way to contact Zhao Chuanxin, and say that the Japanese want to imprison me..."
……
At this time, Zhao Chuanxin, who was "dying", was sitting on the floor in Qinglong Hall, with piles of guns and scattered bullets in front of him.
After that night of consumption, he needed to refill his ammunition depot.
Ning An knelt down next to him, inserting bullets into the magazine with his slender pale fingers. Although it was slow, the work was done quite delicately.
Ning An suddenly had the courage to ask: "Mr. Zhao, how many people have you killed?"
"I have never killed anyone. I faint when I see blood. I am just an ordinary child."
"..." Ning An has never seen anyone who can tell lies so smoothly. "Mr. Zhao, are you afraid when you kill someone?"
"I was scared, so scared that I kept pulling the trigger with my eyes closed."
"..."
Li Xiuji entered the main hall and brought back some ingredients with a shoulder bag.
He came in and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhao, Captain Park and the others have transported the cannons, guns and ammunition to Suwon. On the Gyeonggi Road, not only are Korean merchants and people protecting us, but some flag merchants have turned to us. There is a lot to do."
That day, Zhao Chuanxin sent people out for reconnaissance and found that the Japanese army had no courage to continue attacking Gulujiling.
He asked Park Seung-yeol to take the captured mountain artillery and field artillery, and distributed them guns and ammunition from the weapons depot, and called the large troops from Ares Island to go south and enter the mountains to find a base.
Zhao Chuanxin was not surprised at all: "The Japanese army has no way of controlling the whole of Korea. Merchants and businessmen are all unscrupulous. If you have milk, you will be a mother. It is better to be a bad person first and then give some sweets than to be a good person and occasionally do bad things."
